AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE (GRADING AND MARKING)
ACT, 1928.
Under the above Act various regulations have been made by
the Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries in regard to the use of
grade designations applied by means of a national mark. This
National Mark Scheme is entirely voluntary and its adoption implies
the maintenance of a definite standard of quality as provided for
in the regulations.
The administration of these orders entails the supervision of
food with a view to ensuring that the necessary requirements as to
labelling are complied with and that the National Mark is not
applied to foods that are below the standards prescribed.
